Solidarity and well done NEU teachers for standing firm as others w
Teachers have resoundingly rejected the government’s insulting and almost entirely unfunded pay ‘offer’ and agreed further strikes for 24 April and 2 May.
The government’s ‘deal’ represented a huge real-terms pay cut and would have placed an even greater burden on schools that already cannot cope on inadequate education budgets.
Solidarity with the NEU and their members, who have stood firm while some other union leaderships buckle – under pressure from Keir Starmer and the TUC that neither have denied – to ask workers to accept pay cuts in order to accommodate Starmer’s political ambition on some meaningless ‘jam tomorrow’ promise.
